Re: Is Ben Roethlisberger the most overrated QB in the league?

Given Maddox's performance, opponent, and personnel, and Roth's performance, opponent, and personnel, one cannot say that Roth has been better this year.
Jax's defense is far superior to NEs this year. They've forced NEARLY 5 TIMES AS MANY TURNOVERS AS NEW ENGLAND. They're allowing 80 fewer ypg.
And Maddox didn't have the full compliment of weapons Roth had.
Given all of this, you cannot say that Roth exhibited more talent than Maddox.

No, Ben has still been way better. At least two of the turnovers that Maddox had were unfored errors. Ben has not done that all year.
Against Jacksonville the Pittsburgh defense played a far superior game than they did against New England. And they had a special teams touchdown, as well as a kick return to set them up in field goal range in OT. Two unforced errors by Maddox later and the Steelers lost.
Agsint New England, Ben led the Steelers on a game tying drive with less than 1 and a half minutes left and the defense let Brady drive for the winning field goal at the end.
